China is set to join a growing number of countries that are taking strict measures on singleuse plastic items, with multiple bans expected to come into force gradually within the next six years.
The new policy, announced Sunday, will first take effect in major cities, where many of the nonbiodegradable (非生物降解的) plastics found in the world's oceans originally come.The distribution of plastic bags is supposed to stop in large Chinese cities by the end of the year, whereas smaller cities and rural areas have until 2022.Among other items are singleuse straws and many disposable (一次性的)items.The effort was described as a global “war on plastic”．
Between 1950 and 2015, plastic production has risen from 2 million tons annually to 381 million worldwide, which has seen a rise in policies to reduce dependence on plastics.Extremely strict steps have been taken in many places.
Last August, the Pakistani government banned all singleuse plastic bags in the country's capital region, home to some 1.5 million people.While environmental protection groups celebrated the move, industry representatives warned it would come at a huge financial cost. “They should first find new jobs for the plastic factory workers and then ban the bags，” 38yearold fruit seller Nazeer Abbasi told The Washington Post last year.
Last spring, the European Parliament voted to ban many singleuse plastic items — including plates, straws and cups — by 2021.It also voted to increase recycling targets.Many E．U.member states already have built systems to encourage customers to return plastic bottle for recycling.
